I don't think I've bought a figure at a show in the last five years and most of my purchsses have been books, the odd set of rules, a fair few paints and sh*tloads of discounted mdf bases of all shapes and sizes. Which is exactly what I came home with yesterday apart from picking up some little chaps from EB, that is. I reckon that in this regard the internet and the sheer choice of manufacturer has possibly driven some of them away from shows because it's simply not financially viable anymore., especially for the smaller shows like Cavalier. I suppose my attitude might change if I frequented some of the bigger shows but even SELWG didn't really do it for me either.
This isn't going to stop me going to some shows, but since moving back to the south east, the options just seem more limited.

Does the panel find themselves in the same situation or is it just me?
